General information

Weather: The whole day is predicted to be sunny.

Route: Mostly T2.

Pace: We will be hiking with a medium to slightly faster pace, as the route is quite long, requires a great fitness level and you need to be in a good condition, i.e doing some cardio several times a week or being able to hike up to 25km/1500hm constantly.  

Transportation: If by car, fuel is covered by Arc'Teryx (refund for drivers will take 1 to 2 months). You're free to join by train if the starting point allows it.

Schedule (approx.)

• 07h00: Carpool meeting time: If you join a car, check the info provided by your driver in the Carpool page.
• ...

Do not plan anything right after a hike as we might come back much later than expected if something unexpected happens.

Gear

Mandatory: Hiking boots (or trail running shoes) with a good grip, sun screen, hiking poles

Recommended: Sun glasses, cover for head (e.g. baseball cap), gloves, jackets...

You always need a lamp (head or handheld) with you, even during day hikes. Your phone is not a lamp.

See here an exhaustive check list of gear for single day hikes, and here recommendations regarding spikes.
